So... I have been trying to get this working for several weeks now. I can install MinGW through the .exe, but no-matter what I do I can't seem to get make support or ppm install MinGW to work in such a way that my compilation of Tk-804.029 will correctly use the 'make' command.
(Installing a Perl Module:
)
ppm install MinGW also doesn't work, seems to think it can't find the package. So I am at a loss. System is running Windows 7 on a x64 setup.
What perl are you using? You could try perl Makefile.PL MAKE=dmake
or
ppm install http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/Tk.ppd
ppm install dmake MinGW
ppm upgrade dmake MinGW
or download from http://ppm4.activestate.com/author/MINGW.html Or try http://strawberryperl.com/
I'd suggest using Strawberry Perl if possible (and for Perl on Windows in general), as it will give you a working dmake out of the box. I don't have Windows 7, but Tk installs fine from CPAN using Strawberry 5.10 on Windows XP.
